Metallica In The Running For A “Golden Joystick”

How many of us have channeled our inner rock demon as James Hetfield or the guitar slashing Kirk Hammet on the vicarious music video game Guitar Hero? Enough apparently to get the metal gods a nod for the Music Video Game of the Year at the Golden Joystick Awards. But they aren’t the only rock legends up for a nom, who are they going head to head for the coveted “Golden Joystick”?
